Hair thinning

[jenned]

Can low T3 cause hair to thin? I had Thyroxine reduced six months ago, 150mcg to 125mcg and my hair has been thin for some time but is nowso much worse. My GP will not increase thyroxine bcause I'm in range!

You have been working on improving low vitamins

Strongly recommend getting Thyroid levels retested before seeing an thyroid specialist

Likely to need addition of T3 prescribed alongside levothyroxine
